Cosmetic Dentistry

Do you smile at your selfies or close your mouth completely, so nobody sees your teeth? Asymmetric smile, crooked and diseased teeth cause people to lose their self-confidence, socially exclude themselves and feel uncomfortable. Your smile is one of the few things you take everywhere with you. Thanks to the new technology in cosmetic dentistry, a beautiful and enduring smile is not a dream anymore.

The main goal of cosmetic dentistry is to treat aesthetically problematic teeth with minimal, but yet effective methods. An evenly oral structure, clean and full teeth are only some of the targets which we pursue with our cosmetic dentistry in Istanbul. You will leave our dental clinic with a radiant smile and can look forward to a completely new sense of life!

The oral anatomy of every person is different – therefore, face, facial expressions and smile can differ. Patients, who are interested in cosmetic dentistry, shall not forget that we have to develop an appropriate individual design for each face.

In Istanbul, we treat patients:

• Who have problems with their teeth while smiling
• Who exhibit an abnormal oral structure and anatomy of smiling
• Whose teeth show stains, yellowings or changes of color
• Whose teeth are crooked, dense or gappy
• Whose teeth are fractured, chipped or cracked
• Who have old, unaesthetic fillings

If you have discolored teeth, genetically or due to stains of drinks (coffee, tea, etc.), teeth whitening might be an affordable and effective treatment for you.

Teeth whitening is an effective  treatment to remove discolorations of the teeth. This form of cosmetic dentistry can be applied to all healthy teeth without damaging the teeth or gingiva. There are two different methods of teeth whitening: the plasma-light technology, which is used by a dentist at the clinic, or the bleaching-method (home whitening kit), which can be performed by the patient at home.

At first, we spread hydrogen peroxide on the teeth at our clinic in Istanbul. With the help of intense light beams, the gel is activated, and the teeth are whitened. You will get an immediate result of the teeth whitening.

Before you can perform the bleaching at home, your dentist measures your mouth and produces thin rubber molds. You spread the prescribed medicine onto the molds and wear them preferably at night for about 6 to 8 hours. You can see the results after about 1 to 4 weeks.

We use the BEYOND teeth whitening system, an effective and safest technology available in the market. This technology is the most progressive filter system among the whitening systems.

The system filters ultra-violet rays to protect the existing composite fillings. Also, the treatment can be performed in a gingival friendly way. It prevents gingival darkenings, which can occur with other teeth whitening systems. The BEYOND system is also about 30 % faster than comparable systems.

In the case of tooth decay, we increasingly use aesthetical porcelain fillings instead of metal or composite fillings in Istanbul. Due to aesthetic and stability, porcelain fillings are especially preferred in case of extreme tooth loss.

Aesthetical porcelain fillings:

• Are especially conform to the teeth.
• Have the same color as the natural teeth and look very aesthetically.
• Are extremely resistant and hard to distinguish from the natural teeth.

In the field of cosmetic dentistry, the bonding technique is another alternative to porcelain teeth. In this case, we use composite resin instead of porcelain veneers. The bonding does not damage the teeth; its name goes back to the specific adhesive chemicals, which are used for the bonding.

The bonding system, which is increasingly used in cosmetic dentistry as well as in preventive dentistry, can be used for any patient, who suffers from fractured, cracked, gappy, differently colored or sized teeth or has too many fillings.

We recommend this treatment of cosmetic dentistry to our patients in Istanbul, who are looking for aesthetical, neat fillings. First of all, we measure the tooth extraction hole and prepare the composite fillings in our laboratory. We insert the fillings layer by layer and harden them with a specific light. Afterward we put the material into shape and adjust it to the natural teeth. The bonding is not only qualified for fillings but can also be used for other treatments of cosmetic dentistry.

After the bonding, the colour of the composite filling can be affected by the consumption of coffee, tea or nicotine. Thus we recommend, not to neglect your daily oral hygiene and visit your dentist regularly.
